When my Er6's die I will probably go with the skull candy buds.  They are really cheap (10 bucks?) and while the sound quality isn't *quite* as good, the price more than makes up for that.  They do a pretty good sounds of blocking out other sounds as well.

I have 2 sets of Skull Candy buds and one ER6, and I tend to rotate them now.  10 bucks- give them a try.

I have to agree. After my last er6's died after a couple years of use, I switched to skull candy. Not as good sound quality but not bad either and the driver housing is small. Although I recently got this bluetooth set ( I use my phone for music) and I have to say the sound is good and I don't miss the wires running down my jacket and battery life is excellent.

Etymotic replaced a set of ER6i's w/ Hf5's under warranty... great sound but not such a great fit inside the bucket. Sux.

I'm real happy with the Ety MC5's. They are just a tad longer than the er6i's, but work fine.
Tips from the ER6i's fit on them - so you can get the same fit and isolation.
I'm told the HF 5's are 'better'.

This morning was my first ride with the mc5.  Nice!  I used the foam tip and they sealed well; more outside sound compared to the orange foam earplugs, but OK.  Great sound and no problem getting a tight fitting helmet on/off.  They work.
